Zoona Begum
Zoona Begum (born c. 1983[1]) is a Kashmiri Indian politician who was an elected official in the local panchayat government in the Hardshiva village in Baramulla district of the state of Jammu and Kashmir. She was attacked by armed assailants at her home on 12 January 2013.[2] It was reported that her attempted assassination was part of a campaign by extremist militants to eliminate elected local officials in Jammu and Kashmir state. The event resulted in several local politicians[who?] resigning from their positions due to "the government's failure to provide them security."[3][4]
